The Best Hotel in Downtown Los Angeles, Los Angeles

Background Illustration for Hotels

An ongoing revitalization in Downtown, anchored around the L.A. Live complex, make this a great place to see Los Angeles in transition: think affordable accommodations rubbing elbows with business hotels, streets lined with coffeehouses, and edgy boutiques that can be explored on foot. If you're traveling alone, some parts of Downtown are better to drive rather than walk through after dark.

Millennium Biltmore Hotel

$ | 506 S. Grand Ave., Los Angeles, CA, 90071, USA

As the local headquarters of John F. Kennedy's 1960 presidential campaign and the location of some of the earliest Academy Awards ceremonies, this Downtown treasure, with its gilded 1923 Beaux Arts design, exudes ambience and history. These days, the Biltmore hosts business travelers drawn by its central location, ample meeting spaces, and well-outfitted fitness center, open 24/7. The hotel is also popular for weddings. Renovated guest rooms, though small by today's measures, have formal furnishings and marble bathrooms. Pack your bathing suit to wear at the vintage tiled indoor pool.
